The girl was smiling cheerfully. A large circle was drawn in thanaka on the plump cheek of the round-faced girl. The girl's smile was unquestionably beautiful, but as a gentile, I could not help but notice the patterns on her cheeks drawn in thanaka.
Asking people not only in Thanlyin but also in Myanmar, everyone says that thanaka is just a sunscreen, but I can't help feeling that it plays a role beyond that. That is why I go around with girls who have patterns on their cheeks. Thanaka must also function as part of fashion and accessories. The girl with big circles on her cheeks also had a confident twinkle in her slitted eyes.
